I need help in sorting a text file

I am a bad speller. So I have a small note pad that I have been writing hard to spell words in as I get the right spelling on each word. As time goes on and I look up a word in the note pad my spelling is getting better. The note pad is a hodgepodge of words, no order of any kind to them, it is sometimes hard to find a word that I know is in there in that mess. The note pad is about 3/4th full now. So I started at page 1 typing the words into a rtf file using Wordpad. The file has 2 columns, see the attached screen capture, when I am done typing all the words in. I want to sort the 2 columns as such. The left column starts at the top with the 1st letter of the 1st word (A) then going down the left column in alphabetical order. About half way the sorting takes up at the top of right column in alphabetical order to (Z). So that way I can use the file search to find the word. I don't know if this setup is possible. If not does anyone have any ideas?
If this makes me look like a stupid clod, so be it.

Have you got a spreadsheet as it's simple to do in that?

you can use EditPad Lite. It's free. Look under Extras on toolbar for sorting function.
Windows Text Editor Free Download

As Samuria mentioned, on a spreadsheet it is quite simple to do it.

Why don't you use a free dictionary instead of the text file?
I use WordWeb WordWeb: English dictionary, thesaurus, and word finder software.
Always answer you never had an airplane flew (to remain as free)

to Billmcct, I will look at EditPad Lite.

To Samuria, I don't have spreadsheet. My MS office disk went belly up and I just haven't the time and money to replace it.

To Megahertz07, I use spellcheck in Firefox. About 20% of the time I am so far off on the spelling because my pronunciation of a word is so far off that Firefox or TinySpell (a prog that runs in the background and catch's miss spelled words and lets me know) can't figure out what I am saying. The note pad Started out as a backup for words that my pronunciation is so far off that I had to use the word in a sentence. And sometimes I still couldn't find it and I had to ask my room mate. He is an excellent speller. The word file when I am done entering the words. The file is going on my Android tablet. Android Firefox isn't as nimble as Windows Firefox.

To TechnoMage2016, I am not trying to re-invent the Dictionary. This is just a backup. I have had to learn in the school of hard knocks. Keep backups for everything.

I applaud your inventiveness, but it sounds like you're trying to re-invent the Dictionary. Webster beat you to it

A PS: I have been looking for a free word processor that isn't bundled with a bunch of other progs like Excel, Power Point, Office Online and Outlook that meets my needs. I just need the word processor. I am retired. I have no need to keep such files that need the other prog's that come bundled.

I opened the text file in EditPad Lite and this is what I got. see the attached file. This looks like a raw HTML file to me. The original file is RTF. I looked over the prog and I can't get rid of the coding info.

If you still have your M$ Office product key you can download a fresh copy if Office from Microsoft.

I can try to send a MS office download link if you tell us what is the version and language you want.
